Day 15

What a fun day we had today with John's family!  We picked up John's dad, Jerry, and the three of us went to the Harley-Davidson Plant Tour.  It was a really cool tour of the plant and they showed how they built two different bikes.  Of course John bought himself another Harley shirt (I think it was number 4).  After that, we met up with John's sister, Sella, and her family at the mall and we went to the new aquarium.  The kids just loved that, and we had fun looking at all of the unusual fish they have there - seahorses, jellyfish, sharks.  All of it was really interesting!  We walked back to the mall and had delicious cinnamon rolls for lunch (yes, I said for lunch).  We did a little shopping - too much fun taking a 7-year old niece shopping!  Later we went to Sella and Sean's house and just had a great time hanging out and getting to know each other, taking lots of pictures, and eating Sean's famous spaghetti!  It was wonderful having a home-cooked meal!  And then the big surprise of the night - we celebrated 4th of July a little early with a big fireworks show!  Uncle John went a little crazy at the fireworks store!
